Rewinding the stator?I'm doing mine myself, so it's just when I get the time to do it. I'm pretty eager to get back on, so hopefully I'll get it done this week!

Rewinding the stator?
Thought it may have given an inkling of what you did in your former life.Hopefully not! I suspect a broken wire, which I should be able to repair with silversolder and some copper wire binding (only a small amount so I don't create too much imbalance in the thing).

Since I dropped the starter motor armature from my old car onto the concrete floor, I tend not to open such things. Perhaps I should have been working at ground level rather than Black & Decker Workmate height?
At least the brand new one was smaller and easier to install.
Many many moons ago I did a work visit to the Ingham plant at Somerville. Ahhhhh the memory of the smell and blood.No magical electrical engineering degree behind me, unfortunately.
I did work a little while in the chicken processing room at Inghams. I had the (somewhat) enviable task of picking up the scraps from the floor in the cutting room and putting them in the pet food bin. The skills I learned in that job have helped me with absolutely bloody nothing at all!
I may or may not have had other occupations over the years, but I won't admit to anything.

Keeping on the bike topic, we also have an 80's vintage Yamaha YFM 350 Moto 4. The old girl smokes like crazy but oil is relatively cheap. That one is up for a new battery.
The battery prior was near new when it was cooked by a smart charger I bought as a discontinued line from Super*&@%.
With infrequent use, it's hard for me keeping these small batteries in good order.
Not sure how I could do that on the tiny 6v battery in the AG100, that I probably never will replace.
Clever.I've fixed my alternator again, took the panels off the old girl, removed the alternator, stripped it down, fixed the stator, rebuilt it and reinstalled it. Total time about 1.5 hours.
I prepared the ends of the broken wire, then tinned both ends with silver solder (had to use my 150W iron to melt that stuff). I then positioned the two ends next to each other and put a small amount of solder on the (small) gap. Let it cool, then tested it by smacking it with a screwdriver. No sign of it coming apart. After install, it's working and charging the battery nicely. Bike's back on the mains charger for a while, I'll take her out for a run tomorrow.
Clever.
All functioning correctly?
Justin is the bike?Perfectly, so far. I need a volt meter to monitor it - she's an old girl (1996) and doesn't have one built in, so I've only been able to tell the thing has stopped when the engine starts coughing.
Time will tell. Going for a decent ride on Saturday, will take a spare battery for Justin, but I think I made the joint strong enough (and with a very small amount of solder, so the weight of the repair shouldn't be an issue).
JustIn Case?Justin is the bike?
but your probally right with the name, just how i read itJustIn Case?
I thought it may have been Veronica's romantic interest.JustIn Case?
well... given the space? id imagine that they are already sleeping togetherI thought it may have been Veronica's romantic interest.
